Sweet Shop Communications, Inc. Says Rare Mazur Art Could Be Valuable

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Album covers of the 1970s brought fans closer to their favorite stars. To a generation of youth, album covers were works of art. Ruby Mazur designed over 3,000 album covers for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel and so many more.

Ruby is celebrating his 60th birthday on October 28th, and next March will be the 35th anniversary of when fans first bought Ruby Mazur's officially published version of The Rolling Stones' Mouth and Tongue on the Tumbling Dice record sleeve.

In the late 1960s, early 1970s artist Ruby Mazur worked for top record labels including EMI, Warner Brothers, Atlantic, Paramount, MCA and ABC before opening his own international design studio. Ruby Mazur's Art Department had locations in NYC, London and Los Angeles.

The Rolling Stones' history gives details on recording their hit single Tumbling Dice in France.* Mazur's Los Angeles studio was across the street from Sunset Sound recording studio and Ruby was pretty tight with record producer Jimmy Miller. Jimmy Miller is credited as Producer for the song Tumbling Dice. Paul Camarata, President and Owner of Sunset Sound, recently confirmed the Tumbling Dice sessions, "I checked back into a list we have and show the Rolling Stones in the studio in 1971 working on the songs 'Tumbling Dice,' 'Ventilator Blues' and 'Shine a Light.'"

Mazur recounts the interaction with Mick Jagger, "Mick shows up at my studio and asks for something that looked like him, but not really looks like him. I airbrushed the mouth and tongue on heavy weight illustration board over the weekend, showed it to Mick on Monday and he loved it." Today, this painting is studied in art schools including the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. The original painting was lost in a fire and all original lithographs were sold off years ago. These lithos could be quite valuable.

Today, artist Ruby Mazur (http://www.rubymazur.net/) is very busy painting, designing logos and exhibiting his art around the world. His unique flair for understanding pop culture is attracting many who collect art. For more information please direct e-mails to Sweet Shop Communications, Inc., audshapiro@comcast.net.
